yeah- this place was linked a bit ago by ester... post was "dem bones" showing the same airplane graveyard.

it is very cool place to check out for sure. kinda wierd tho- counting the planes and estimating the total cost of what is sitting on this HUGE area of earth... staggering to say the least.

So I check out the aircraft graveyard... then I surf off to iraq, and I thought this, at first, was a bunch of old planes laid out to rest... then I noticed the ends... then I decided to quit drugs.

Total acquisition cost of all the aircraft is estimated to have been $29 billion.

Here's another collection of planes, this time fighters frozen in place. Lookout for the exhaust:

Aircraft graveyards, aircraft frozen in place... It seems this air museum is absolutely haunted, and the spirits have taken flight once again. Judge for yourself! (See attachment.)

Rugrunner, I've been looking at this museum...the fancy name escapes me..for some time. The stuff is good, but you're right. What entity runs this place? It looks like a junkyard! Maybe it IS haunted!

Looks more like yet another military coverup of an ET visit. Note the Nazca type ground etching..

"We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." - Stephen Schneider (leading advocate of the global warming theory), Discover magazine, Oct 1989.

"Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous (global warming) is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are..." -former Vice President Al Gore, Grist Magazine, May 9, 2006

Here's the USS Intreped Air and Space Museum in NYC. You can also see a sub, and another Navy ship.

How about The Commemorative Air Force formerly the Confederate Air Force. Here is its Headquarters in Texas. Can you identify the planes outside the museum?

More on this organization in a previous thread!
Check out the truncated "lone star" in the park to the south!
